My friend Becky encouraged me to get mad about it. So I did. And here's the result... new house rules!
- All toys in the living room must be picked up and put away before sitting down to dinner.
- Table must be cleared and wiped down after every meal.
- Kitchen must be clean before going to bed. NO dishes in the sink. None. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- The adult in charge of bath time must wipe down the toilet w/ Lysol wipes during the bath and must pick up the bathroom.
- Little M's room must be picked up and toys put away before bedtime.
Now, I must bring out my inner drill sergeant to become an enforcer. I hate that part. It won't be fun but it's necessary. I can't live like this anymore! I need some order in my home and I need to know that it's reliable.

Good for you! Have you posted the rules yet? Do you have Big M's buy-in? Josh is the cleanest one in our house, so all I have to get mad at is me and Elias. All my organizing is my attempt to get something I can stick with!
Um, if this works at your house could you please come to MINE? I need a drill sergeant desperately and I'm too tired! LOL

So, how's it going? Have you been able to put the drill sergeant away yet? Hope that things are getting better, you give me hope!
